Frequently asked questions

How many Australia PR points does a 40-year-old with superior English get?

With a diploma or trade qualification, superior English and 3-4 years of overseas experience, a single applicant aged 40 scores 60 points for subclass 189.

Is 65 points enough for an invitation?
